Dark brown carved Ser Jacopo pipe, classic curved model La Pipaccia 4 with black methacrylate mouthpiece. Rowlette Pipaccia 4 group rating. The pipe has a striking appearance thanks to its generous, classic dimensions. The fine carving is very pleasant to the touch and the smooth briar wood on the mouthpiece makes it very elegant and refined. The model is a classic of the company, always current, which never tires. It is large in size and stands out for its capable bowl, which guarantees excellent smokeability in any situation. Its lightness makes it ideal for any smoke, although it is best enjoyed while sitting comfortably in an armchair. An extraordinary piece for those who want to enjoy tobacco in an intense and long smoke, and end the day in glory. The "La Pipaccia" series is one of the most original lines created by Giancarlo Guidi and is always highly appreciated. The Rowlette series are pipes that are hand-carved to look like a candle with wax dripping down the sides of the bowl. The process is very long and laborious, but the result is certainly impressive. This pipe is ideal for the warmer months as it does not heat up the hand as much. It is excellent for walking, given its lower propensity for scratches and marks. A pipe with an impressive and original design that highlights the craftsmanship of Ser Jacopo.
Ser Jacopo was founded in 1982 by the expert hands of Giancarlo Guidi. He came from a decade of successful experience at Mastro, of which he was one of the founders. This new adventure began by focusing on pipe mouthpieces, creating true works of art. He uses precious metals, stones, horn and exotic woods to give Ser Jacopo pipes a distinctive and new look that many smokers appreciate. Add to this seasoned briar and success is immediate. Giancarlo Guidi is considered the father of what is known as the 'Pesaro school'. He taught the craft to many young people who, as they grew up, started their own workshops. Over the years, these artisans, as a sign of gratitude and esteem, have turned to Guidi, calling him Maestro. Giancarlo left us in 2012, still full of projects that were never realised, but which would certainly have amazed us. He was an extraordinary person, humble and cultured, a great art lover. The world of pipes lost a true protagonist too soon, and I lost a true friend.
